AT last use has been found for the

no longer regard it as q terrible nui-
sance. An Australian farmer, who had
some of his land overrun with the prick
ly growth, passed them through the
ensilage process with the result that
he obtained quantity Of ensilage,
which his cattle readily consumed.
In some parts Of Australia the thistle
has, like the rabbit, been kept within
bounds with great difficulty; but
dairy farmers are now advised to
take advantage of the luxurious growth
for their cows.
